How to sight in Ravin R26X crossbow?

Sighting in your Ravin R26X crossbow involves adjusting the scope to ensure accuracy at various distances. Start by following the manufacturer guidelines for your specific scope model, as different scopes may have varying adjustment mechanisms. Generally, you will want to set up a target at a distance of 20 yards and fire three shots to get a baseline for where your bolts are hitting.

Checking the groupings of your shots helps you see where adjustments are needed. If your shots are hitting to the left or right, you will use the windage adjustment on your scope to correct this. Similarly, if your shots are too high or low, use the elevation settings for adjustments. Repeat this process, moving back to 30 and 40 yards, making adjustments as necessary.

Many users find that taking the time to properly sight in their crossbow leads to much improved accuracy during hunts. For example, a user reported that after properly sighting his crossbow, he was able to hit targets consistently at 40 yards.

Pro Tip: Use a stable shooting platform to help minimize movement during the sighting process.

If you’re uncomfortable with adjusting your scope, consider seeking help from a professional or experienced friend.
